2 Elandra Road, Taroona TAS 7053

Elevated above one of Hobart’s premier suburbs, this fantastic family home enjoys the best of both worlds with majestic views across the River Derwent while being immersed in a natural bush setting.

Situated in a quiet and peaceful street within the popular river-side suburb, this spacious and light-filled home is split over two generous levels. The upper floor features an open living space with large windows that showcase the incredible vista. Three sizable bedrooms – two with built-in wardrobes and shelving – line the long hallway. At the end of the corridor, a fourth bedroom with corner windows and views of the River sits and could easily become a home office or study.

The dining room is lined with dark timber and custom-built shelving ready to display cookbooks and sentimental items. Versatile, it sets the tone for both formal dining and casual family meals, serving up the River as your backdrop.

Functionality meets space in the open kitchen. Powder blue benchtops complement the white cabinetry – of which there is plenty – and appliances, including an oven with warming draw, electric cooktop with rangehood and fridge. Ample cupboards line the wall for additional pantry room and storage. Ideal for entertaining, the kitchen opens onto the large balcony, soaked in sunshine with breathtaking views.

The large family bathroom on the upper level provides ample room for simultaneous use with a shower, bath and vanity. A separate powder room further down the hallway contains a toilet, vanity and second shower. The substantial laundry has direct access to the backyard and undercover clothesline with plenty of storage and room to house essential appliances.

Downstairs via the central staircase two large and cosy rooms are located. There’s a separate entrance at the front of the home into the lower level, making it an ideal teenage retreat or guest accommodation.

Outside, the opportunities are endless with the expanse of the bush to the rear of the property which gently slopes down to the level undercover backyard area. There are gardens ready to be rejuvenated with new plants and fresh blooms, even veggies and a possible subdivision or redevelopment of the site (STCA) may even be a genuine possibility.

A paved pathway wraps around the property, meeting the driveway lined with established trees and greenery. The front of the home enjoys a low-maintenance multi-level lawn with trees dotted along at street level.

There’s parking in the undercover carport with additional off-street parking available within the lengthy driveway. Beneath the property you’ll also find a spacious garage workshop that has been the birthplace of many impressive DIY projects over the years, a true asset to have as part of any home.

Perched high above Taroona, this comfortable home is ideal for a family seeking privacy and pristine views while being conveniently located mere minutes away from quality beaches, schools and the bustling shopping hub of neighbouring Sandy Bay.
